Until recently, all testings in the state were of primary contacts.

He also stated that the Prime Minister’s ‘Saptha Sutra’ to contain the spread of the virus includes taking extra care of the elderly.

Adding that the government will ensure that nobody starves during these difficult times, thus, everyone, with or without a BPL ration card, will receive rations.
